    PT Good Episode 42 - Multimodal Approach

    As physical therapists we all know that for any condition a multimodal approach is better than using a single treatment method. We've heard it in school, have read it in CPGs, and new research is published every year studying this topic. But, why does it work? There are probably multiple mechanisms at play. The pain experience is multifactorial and a multimodal approach will happen to address each of these factors compared to a single modal approach. The studies that support a multimodal approach are also done on a large, varied sample. Not all of these patients will have the same impairments. A multimodal approach casts a large net and addresses all 'impairments'. Despite these proposed pros of a multimodal approach. we see some cons such as inefficiency in treatment and lack of relevant impairment identification specific to the individual. Join us today on the PT Good Podcast where we talk all things good, and bad, about the multimodal approach!

    PT Good Episode 41 - Shoulder Evaluation

    The shoulder can be a difficult body part to master treating. Before treating the shoulder, it must be assessed and evaluated. With over 30 special tests it can seem impossible to figure out what the problem is. But do these tests even matter? A simple movement and strength assessment is typically all that is necessary when evaluating a patient with shoulder pain. Screening for red flags, screening the spine, and beginning to classify patients with shoulder pain are all covered on today's episode of the PT Good Podcast!
